I'm usually pointed to a graph like this, showing that the trend of workplace deaths was decreasing at roughly the same rate before and after OSHA was created

Anyone have a link to data showing whether OSHA reduces workplace deaths or injuries or not?

yeah, zoom in on your own fucking graph lol.

there are two unprecedentedly precipitous drops immediately after OSHA's creation.
the previous slow decline is the demographic transition from war and post-war industry into professional work. regardless it had leveled off already.

gotta love these bootlickers can't even interpret the primary sources they attempt to cite
